    what a welcoming gate. who wouldn't look at that and think "these people want me to be here".
  2. Texasota
    Huh. Strong Enron vibes. Fits in with Greenway but wouldn't be my first choice for the site.

    I worked at a (different) Whole Foods for two years, and I can promise you that the idea that only rich people shop there is nonsense. Its reputation for being expensive has also always been overblown- it has expensive items but it's (mostly) not overpriced and their house brand stuff is really good. That said, it's gone downhill quite a bit since the Amazon buyout. But if you want a store that really is overpriced, I'd argue for Randall's personally.

    Why would you argue with someone who literally chose the name "MaxConcrete"? That's, at best, not someone you're going to convince.
  5. Texasota
    Yes, good point. Apartment dwellers rarely buy groceries.

    His and Hers bathrooms where Hers is always significantly better really irritates me. Also, why does the toilet need its own door if you're not sharing the entire bathroom with *anyone*? Why are massive rooms better than more bedrooms/true dedicated home offices?
  7. Texasota
    This is a deeply unhelpful tangent. In no way is anybody's ability to access their home by car being threatened.
  8. Texasota
    Yeah, if you find a $5 lobster roll, definitely do not eat it.

    It is not possible to eliminate all opposition with *any* project, and road diets in particular always have opponents. You don't like this project. We get it. That doesn't make it unsuccessful. 11th St was unsafe and uncomfortable and now it is much less so. Is it perfect? No. But it does a much better job of prioritizing human life and was able to be implemented relatively quickly and cost effectively.

    They didn't "rehab" these; they're almost entirely new materials.
  11. Texasota
    Definitely some questionable taste going on here.
  12. Texasota
    These look good, but why bother "keeping" the original houses for this? Just build new.
  13. Texasota
    nobody tell the mayor about those curbs.
  14. Texasota
    wait. a cheesesteak place is being replaced by someone named Hoagland? That can't be right.
  15. Texasota
    That's standard-issue artist blurb and is really just about the art they're using not the (bar?) itself.

    Awful. How much money is this funeral house making that this was worth it to them??
  17. Texasota
    Go do that then.

    To put a finer point on it, the church needs parking *exactly* when it's most available downtown. No one is at work. No one is out clubbing or bar hopping or seeing a show or whatever. Acres of available parking surround this church.

    Blech. He's complaining about them charging for professional photoshoots and making it sound like anyone who takes a photo with their phone will be fined.

    I like these quick turnaround reuses of mediocre buildings. This is great, and it wont be a surface lot or something for years waiting for something theoretically better.

    My wife used to live in the Rice (other side of downtown, but if anything more active). Noise was not an issue.

    The strings would be pretty minimal for interior changes. The main thing it would add is time.
  23. Texasota
    *rolls eyes*
  24. Texasota
    It's a cute little house, but I just can't understand the knee-jerk anti-apartment response. Apartments are good! More neighbors are good!
  25. Texasota
    I feel pretty confident that diagram is just two circles with little or no overlap. I'm sure there's someone somewhere who wants to get rid of parking requirements but objects to road diets, but that person is not (in my experience) representative of anything but themselves.
